This is the opposite of reality.
When does the porthole back to your own universe reopen?
Skinner wasn't as bad as I expected him to be, but yeah it was a massive relief when he declined to join the Dr
If someone told me 18 years ago there'd be Dr Who...

*Cough* the 1996 tv movie with Paul McGann came out the same year as 3 Lions and Neverwhere.
I had no problem with the movie.

The Movie.
Pros.
1. The Tardis has never looked better. Ever. Best Tardis interior ever.
2. Torn the whole regeneration scene intercut with Frankenstein was easily the coolest regeneration ever.
3. Puccini.
Cons.
1. Why do the Daleks kill the Master and give his remains to the Doctor?
2. The Tardis is full of clocks, and the Doctor is reading Jules Verne "The Time Machine". When the Master escapes the record skips as she sings "Time" over and over again. The whole thing is a subtle as a hammer.
3. It's really unfair on McCoy. Thats no way for a Doctor to go out.
4. Why is the Doctor suddenly psychic? He literally can read Grace's mind.
5. As we've seen with Matt Smith and his anti grav motor bike and flying space scooter whenever the Doctor is on a motorbike it is simply a terrible idea.
6. Eye of Harmony?
7. The Doctor is HALF HUMAN! HALF HUMAN?
8. Grace rewires the TARDIS
9. THE DOCTOR SNOGS GRACE. NO. NO. NO.
I really like McCann's Doctor but the film was fucking dire.

Tick tock.
No one else watching?
Well, I'd have loved it if that had been 5 episodes, like it used to be - I reckon there was enough in it to do that - but given that this is how they do then now, I thought that was very good.

I thought the whole schtick of clara being Doctor for a day was good, some excellent lines in accordance with that- 'what are you a doctor of' etc

Merry Xmas!
What a great episode! Baddies from another dimension, experimenting on us, flattening us. I guess that explains the Doctor's hairstyle going all short and flat for a bit and then back to bouffant...

Why does the Doctor dress like a elderly Mod?
That was ok. About average for this season so far. Getting bored of the Missy stuff. These hints are somewhat tedious. Who is she? What is she? Why is she? Yeah ok, I can wait.

why did tennant's doctor dress like Jarvis cocker? they have to have a look. It has to be iconic and to an extent reflect that particular doctor's personality. Capaldi's cozzie is generally sharp edged, with a hint of the magician and a dash of cool. That'll do.

that 'I was a good Doctor' 'good has nothing to do with it' exchange was an encapsulation of the whole subplot imo
am I a good man.
totally didn't care about the end bit, did the lady say 'so glad I chose you clara'?

hmm. With bad wolf we had loads of subtle stuff dropped within the main story. At the moment the over arching plot seems to be 'stick 3 mins of sinister brolly woman in at the end, roll credits'

but better than the rest of moffatt's story arcs. positively restrained by comparison.

maybe capaldi had a word. We've all seen him having a word in the thick of it, I wouldn't be suprised if he isn't basically running the whole show now

I was hoping the grumpy old bloke would get run over by a train at the end but he didn't

everyone always mentions the sonic as a plot solving device but the psychic paper gets a free pass (lol). And yet it failed on him. Because psychic paper only works for plot reasons.

I thought that was really good. Clara jumping into the Doctor's shoes and then feeling the weight of them, original and unsettling baddies, twodis.
When Clara and Rigsy jumped on the swinging chair and went through the window I was shouting "That's what I said to do!"

It didn't work because the man had no imagination.

Bad guys are a lot less scary if they have ipads. People with ipads aren't scary, they're just sad.

I don't know who played unpleasant asbo-supervisor-man but he was brilliant. I've seen him in other stuff before, he's really good and has a face like Admiral Adama, it's seen a hell of a lot of life.
ETA the whole running through railway tunnels reminded me a lot of the Web of Fear 2nd doctor "lost" story that reappeared last year (it was really good, first appearance of the Brigadier).
